About This Item
Kingston, Ontario, Canada:: Transformer Press,, 2019.. Edition of 10. 12 x 12" closed, opens to 36 x 36"; 9 panels with 9 panes within. Materials: quilting fabric scraps, thread. Screen printed text. Signed and numbered by the artist. Lise Melhorn-Boe: "Counterpanes is a meander book that opens out to resemble a quilt, with nine-patch squares. These fabric books were screen-printed in an eccentric edition of 10
using up drawers-full of quilting fabric scraps. For the edition of 10, I cut over 900 4.5" squares. There is one book in reds, and there are four in oranges, three in purples and two in greens." Four of the middle patches in four of the panels contain a poem by Hazel Hall. "Hazel Hall lived in Portland, Oregon, in the early 20th century. She was confined to the upper floor of her family home, where she took in sewing to augment the family's income, and wrote poetry. At least 35 of her poems are directly about sewing; many others use sewing imagery to describe her world.
